Re: Suggest A Feature - What would you like to see
This is a low res starting image (yes I've been playing) of a very in-the-future rover for Mars exploration...
So what else would you like to see on a un-manned future rover, give me your suggestions and I'll do a final high-res version of it.
There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

I'd like the rover to drill into the ground to take core samples of potential ice deposits.
Who needs Michael Griffin when you can have Peter Griffin? Catch "Family Guy" Sunday nights on FOX.

Beagle's 'methane-sniffer'
A microphone (really!)
A flashlight to make a 'different' picture under same lighting conditions, if you reach a hole or something like that

Pattern the overall vehicle on the tried-and-proven "front-end loader" format so successful here on Earth, with a "core drill and extractor" in back.
